IMPORTANCE: Purpuric skin lesions have only rarely been reported in patients
receiving epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors. However, their clinical
and histopathologic presentations have varied considerably. OBJECTIVE: To
characterize purpuric skin eruptions caused by epidermal growth factor receptor
inhibitors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This prospective study enrolled 32
patients who presented to an integrated dermato-oncologic clinic in a tertiary
referral medical center with purpuric skin lesions after using epidermal growth
factor receptor inhibitors from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015.
EXPOSURES: Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including
gefitinib, erlotinib, and afatinib. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Clinical
presentations, histopathologic features, laboratory examinations, and treatment
outcomes of patients with purpuric drug eruptions. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients,
14 with purpuric drug eruptions without pustules (mean [SD] age, 60 [11] years;
12 female and 2 male) and 18 with purpuric drug eruptions with pustules (mean
[SD] age, 64 [11] years; 12 female and 6 male), were identified. The median time
to development of skin lesions was 3.5 months. The clinical presentations were
characterized by purpuric macules, papules, and confluent plaques predominantly
on the lower extremities. Pustules in various sizes could be found in 18 patients
(56%). Eleven patients (34%) had skin lesions that covered places other than the
lower extremities. Eczema craquelé-like features developed in 13 patients (41%).
Bacterial pathogens were frequently identified in these skin lesions. Among them,
Staphylococcus aureus was the most predominant and was found in 20 patients
(63%), commonly in those with cutaneous pustules. Epidermal dysmaturation,
neutrophil exocytosis, perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils,
red blood cell extravasation, and plumping endothelium were the main
histopathologic features. The expressions of filaggrin and human ?-defensin 2 in
lesional skin of these patients were markedly reduced. All patients improved
after receiving at least 1 week of systemic antibiotic treatment; the doses of
epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors were also changed for 14 patients
(44%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Purpuric drug eruptions caused by epidermal
growth factor receptor inhibitors are uncommon and have characteristic clinical
and histopathologic presentations. The role of bacterial pathogens in this
reaction is important and requires further exploration.
